On which issue is Canada surrounded? Why is India surrounded? read on

Attempt to divert attention from domestic issues

Relations between India and Canada are at their peak at the moment, with both countries reducing diplomatic ties. In September last year, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau had made baseless allegations against the Indian government, which is the main reason for the controversy. Trudeau is repeating the same allegation again and again without providing any evidence and saying that the Indian government was involved in the murder of Khalistan terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar on Canadian soil. However, now he himself has admitted that he does not have any concrete evidence against India. Therefore, questions are being raised whether the attitude of the Canadian government really reflects a serious issue or is it an attempt to divert attention from domestic failures?

Issues that are keeping Trudeau under siege at home

The Trudeau government in Canada is under fire due to its policies, free hand to Khalistan movement and separatists in the name of freedom of expression, illegal immigration and increasing population due to lack of basic facilities, which has reduced its popularity significantly. The four main domestic issues in Canada, also known as the 4I, are inflation, electricity, immigration and identity.

Inflation is the biggest issue in Canada at the moment, and on several occasions employees have publicly slammed Trudeau over skyrocketing inflation. The allegation is that the Trudeau government is ignoring the problems and issues of the common people. Apart from being in power for almost a decade, his government is also facing anti-incumbency wave. Due to this, Trudeau's political base has further reduced.

Therefore, it is believed that by making baseless allegations against India, Trudeau is trying to divert public attention from the failures of his government. If he wanted, he could have resolved the issue peacefully through diplomatic channels, but Trudeau chose to escalate the dispute publicly, which could further damage relations between India and Canada in the future.
